Chapter 147: A Person Standing Too High Shouldn’t Devote All His Feelings

“I’m sorry for disturbing the both of you.” Although An Shuyan received a blow, she still maintained a polite smile. She took a good look at the man soaking in the hot spring with Ji Nuan before abruptly turning to leave.

As An Shuyan’s footsteps finally became softer, Ji Nuan leaned her chin on Mo Jingshen’s shoulder. “Secretary An is actually rather good at tolerating. Based on her IQ and EQ, she can endure failures and grievances, but it’s clear you’ve hurt her pride. For a proud woman, her pride is her true bottom line.”

For a moment, Ji Nuan had caught a hint of dejection in the cracks of An Shuyan’s facade. Perhaps actually catching a glimpse of the two of them being intimate in the hot spring was much more painful to accept than hearing about their affections.

Mo Jingshen brushed away her wet hair from his neck, placing his hand on her collarbone. Ji Nuan turned to see the man’s approaching face.

Mo Jingshen’s tone was calm. “Do you want me to consider her pride or your feelings?”

Ji Nuan knitted her brows and bit down on his shoulders. “Why are you pushing this life-or-death question onto my lap?”

“One is a woman unrelated to me with pride unrelated to me. The other is the wife I’ve recognized; the woman who will accompany me for the rest of my life. There is a clear line between the two, but she is unable to recognize it.” Mo Jingshen rubbed her ears, his voice low and unhurried. “You know it’s a life-or-death question, and the correct answer is placed right here, yet you insist on having me say it out loud to satisfy your curiosity.”

Ji Nuan moved her lips away from his shoulder and gave him a kiss. “Looks like I have to place a stamp of approval on the world’s number one best husband!”

“You can place a stamp on it, but a kiss is too simple and ineffective.” The man held her waist under the water, deepening their kiss. “When we go back to the room, properly stamp it again. You can do it as you please.”

“Don’t mess around. This is the Mo home. It’s more important to take time to chat with grandfather tonight.” Ji Nuan spoke earnestly.

Mo Jingshen’s tone was earnest as well. “It’s also important to accompany your husband to bed.”

After soaking for a long time, Ji Nuan decided to leave the hot spring and return to their room to rest. She remained inside changing her clothes.

When Mo Jingshen stepped out of the hot spring, he saw An Shuyan still dressed in her robe, her lengthy hair flowing down her back. When she heard him moving, she turned back to look at him.

“CEO Mo.” An Shuyan regarded his graceful and warm good looks unaffected by the heat of the hot spring. “This is after all the Mo family, and we’re here as guests. Thankfully, the one who entered earlier was me. If it had been Uncle Mo or my father, I’m not sure how they would think of Ji Nuan.”

An Shuyan’s meaning was clear; she was secretly hinting that Ji Nuan had seduced him here. If the two of them had been intimate, it was the same as not giving Father An and Father Mo the respect they deserved.

The only words she had yet to use were ‘offending public morals.’

“Typical husbands and wives would occasionally be a little intimate. I didn’t think we would be an eyesore to Miss An.” Ji Nuan had already changed as she stepped out. She did not wait for Mo Jingshen to speak up and approached with a smile. “Miss An has an outstanding family background and keen intelligence to boast, so your sight would naturally be set high. However, such a sanctimonious judgment should not be used to appraise us.”
